Lawyers can’t afford to miss a beat—no matter what. Even when a hurricane or other natural disaster heads their way, attorneys need to keep providing service to their clients. And in this day and age, there’s no reason why they can’t! Cloud and internet technologies allow lawyers to access data and communicate from anywhere at any time. Also, a little disaster preparedness and business continuity planning can go a very long way in protecting yourself and your firm. In this CLE, you’ll learn all the basics you need to know. We hope it helps keep you and your law firm safe!
